Folk wrestling

Folk wrestling is a kind of wrestling that people have been doing for a very long time. You might have done some wrestling with your siblings or friends at home, but folk wrestling has some special rules that make it a little bit different.

In folk wrestling, two people try to make the other person fall to the ground or touch the ground with any part of their body besides their feet. But, they can only use certain parts of their bodies to do this. They can use their arms, legs, and torso, but they can't grab or hold onto their opponent's clothes or anything else.

The wrestlers also have to follow some other rules, like not hitting their opponent or doing anything dangerous, and they have to stay inside a special area called a mat or a ring while they wrestle.

Folk wrestling can be done in lots of different countries around the world, and each country might have its own special style of folk wrestling. It's a fun way to stay active and learn some new skills!
